The run was the "Fruit Loop" (Because, it is in Fruita) or "Horseshoe Loop" (Goes on Horseshoe) or "Megan's Loop" (Goes by Megan's House) in reverse. John, Doug and Jason L ran 8 miles (Took a short Cut). Jason B, Michelle, Carla, Kami and Kellie ran 10 milkes. It was a bit cold and foggy. There was hot chocolate at the end as promised, compliments of the Chapmans
There was ice that forms on the ey lashes... and did I say it was foggy and a bit cold. After the run Doug and John played Guitar Hero... John lost, but John is practising.
A couple questions came up on the run.
1. Jason claims that Tomatoes were once poisonous, or thought to be.
From Wikipedia-Where what you write becomes fact......
According to Andrew F Smith's The Tomato in America,[1] the tomato probably originated in the highlands of the west coast of South America.....
......Gerard knew that the tomato was eaten in both Spain and Italy. Nonetheless, he believed that it was poisonous[citation needed] (tomato leaves and stems contain poisonous glycoalkaloids, but the fruit is safe). Gerard's views were influential, and the tomato was considered unfit for eating (though not necessarily poisonous) for many years in Britain and its North American colonies. By the mid-1700s, however, tomatoes were widely eaten in Britain..
We'll give this to Jason.
2. Doug wanted to know who milked the first cow?
I could not find that inforamiton, but we do know who miked the first cow flying in a airplane.
It occurred on Feb. 18, 1930, when dairy interests found an eye-catching way to promote milk at the St. Louis International Air
"Elsworth W. Bunce, former Journal carrier and graduate of West Division High School, has the distinction of being the first man to milk a cow in an airplane flight."
It was, of course, a first for a cow, as well. Her name was Elm Farm Ollie, a Guernsey whose nickname became "Sky Queen" after her historic flight.
Accompanied by reporters, her mission was "to blaze a trail for the transportation of livestock by air," said a St. Louis newspaper, by allowing scientists to observe the effects of flight on her demeanor and milk production.
Elm Farm Ollie was fed and milked during the 72-mile flight from Bismarck, Mo., to St. Louis.
Her milk was sealed in paper containers and dropped over the city of St. Louis, and a glass was reportedly served to Charles Lindbergh, who knew a little about aeronautical firsts himself....
Who Knew?
